slingplayer works great for me. but only over wifi...
if I use my SGS as as wireless hotspot, slingplayer locates my slingbox but after "connecting" for some time it gives an error saying it has no internet access... ?? all other apps can access internet just fine.
I also have slingplayer on my SGS and here it works great over 3g connection. So why not on the a500?

Well, I just tried it thru my Thunderbolt, and it works fine. That said, the bolt is 4G and is infrastructure mode, so it better work!

Market over wifi issue
I have the same issue with marketplace over wifi. Works fine over 3g but gives me a message about being unable to connect to server when I am using wifi.

There is. It's called a data connection. What can you get in the marketplace that you can't get on omarket or handango?
Anyone get wireless tether to work?
I installed the latest, and it looks like it's working on the phone, but I can't find it on the PC. I have my MT3G right next to me also, and wireless tether works fine on it.
Anyone tried to use wireless tether?

I know this isn't a real answer, but have you tried Barnacle? I've noticed it's much more dependable.
Never tried barnacle.
Can you tell me which version of wireless tether you're using that works?
It's in the 'Settings' 'About' tab.
Thanks.
I'm using Wireless Tether 2.0.5-pre3 and just not getting it to show up in windows.
When I use the same version on my MyTouch3G, it shows up fine in windows and works well.
From the DroidX I don't see the Android Tether at all.
I tried Barnacle, and it shows up fine in windows and seems to connect well. I get a little data tranfer, but the window on the Droid shows repeated reconnects du to 'NAT' at times, other times seems to work well.
Right now Barnacle seems to be working.
Wonder what is going on, especially with Wireless tether.
Trying to use Wifi Tether (google) app in rooted Vibrant (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=NexusOne)
Everything setup correct and works good on the phone itself. Laptop shows the connection as 'computer-to-computer' network rather than 'wireless network'. Although signal strengh is very good laptop just says "waiting for network..." and never connects. How to change Wifi Tether setting to show as 'wireless network' instead of 'computer-to-computer' network so that it will connect?
You should load the mobile AP patch instead. Works much better than the wifi tether app on the vibrant.

yes. mobileap is like 100 times better!
+1 for mobile ap flash.
I ran wireless tether app forever on my G1 and like this much better.

thanks for replying guys..i went to the mobile AP flash thread and read that you have to do clockwork recovery to flash it. I think when froyo update happens its gonna disable mobile AP flash?? I see people saying (and even Youtube videos) of using Wifi tether and Barnacle wifi legacy to tether from Vibrant. I tried both of them and they show as 'compter-to-computer' network on laptop and it wont connect.
You should delete everything & start from the beginning. If that doesn't work then try it on someone else laptop to see if that's the problem if not is your phone. Maybe is a problem the way u rooted your phone. If it continues doing it on the other laptop u are testing it. Most deff is your phone.
Froyo has wireless AP built in by default. We have yet to know if T-mobile will disable it. If they do, someone will just hack it back in.
Interesting. I prefer wireless tether. I think it works much better than the MobileAP.
So this turns out to be an issue with my laptop. Laptop is not able to connect to ad-hoc (computer to computer) wifi networks. Both wifi tethering app and Barnacle worked on a friends laptop. Got around 2 Mbps from T-mobile 3G.
I did have to update the driver for the wireless chip on one laptop to support ad-hoc networks, but it was worth it. If you're interested, check your wireless chip manufacturer's site for a newer driver.
The TMO sales-droids told me that the froyo update would enable the wireless hotspot (MobileAP), but who knows till we actually get it. Even if it does, if it works like the MobileAP does now, I'll continue using wireless-tether.

MobileAP didn't work for me. Win7 showed no internet activity.
Wireless Tether on the other hand worked perfectly, so YMMV.
Does anyone has a problem while using mobile AP while the connection is steady but after the screen dims or locks up the speed slows down and sometimes cut off the tether to the device? would there be anyway around this?

That did the trick! Thanks mate
I have a question about tethering I'm trying to use the wifi for my gaming console (ps3). It doesn't recongize the ip address. So will it recongize it when the update comes or will it not work for gaming consoles.

maybe a dumb question but i rooted girl's vibrant and flashed mobileAP which worked great the first day. i couldnt get barnacle or google's wireless tether to actually connect to anything. But now she's trying to use it today and it won't connect due to DNS issues. Would it be the phone at fault or the laptop? I already tried refreshing the IP using command prompt but it didn't help.
I installed WIFI tether and barnacle tether. When I try to connect it to my IPAD it finds it but wont establish a connection. Anyone have any ideas why?

are you rooted?
Steve Jobs says you're holding your iPad wrong. Must not be within five miles of an Android device for WiFi to work.
It is rooted. My friend at work can connect to it using her iphone but not my IPAD.
Does your iPad connect to any other WiFi?
I connected an iPad to my Android phone using Wireless Tether just yesterday. And while the iPad connected fine and showed plenty of signal, things were really, really slow. I had a good 3G signal on the phone, and it wasn't doing anything else. I downloaded and installed speed test on the iPad, which reported about 250 kbps both up and down.
As for getting the wifi connection working, I don't know what to suggest. I just went into settings, general and tapped on the SSID my Android is setup to use. I have access control turned on through Wireless Tether, so I had to then grant it access there as well.
Good luck.
That happened to my friend too. Try turning off WiFi on ipad, then turning back on. That worked for us.
i use wifi tether with my iPad all the time. works great. ekot831 is right, try turning the ipad wifi off and on again. I think mine gets stuck acquiring a new IP address. this always fixes it for me.
good luck!
Also, make sure you are using a wifi tether app that supports infrastructure and not just ad-hoc. Apple devices don't play nice with ad-hoc.
can it be done? I have the paid app, but it doesnt seem to be recognizing my droid x. Even when easy tether is activated.

You can't usb tether from android to android
if you have a rom that supports wifi hotspot you can u use that to tether to your transformer. I do it with my g2x all the time.

Easytether is for usb tethering. The OP is trying to tether from 1 Android device to another Android device with a usb cable not wifi. At this time it is not possible.

No, I don't think so. I had one app which had to be installed on phone and tab and was able to tether over bluetooth but it was very very unstable and never worked longer than 10 seconds.
Here is my setup:
SGS (i9000) with darkyrom and build in wifi tether + tasker app for automatically switch on and off wifi tether when a specific bluetooth device is connected.
I use my tab in the car and when i start it, the bluetooth connection from phone to the hands-free is established and wifi tethering enabled with tasker automatically. this takes less power and has the full internet speed. works great for me!

I think that is exactly what I am looking for. I want use TF with internet connection when there is no wifi around. So phone provide internet connection to TF. Understood true?
I teathered my TF to my friends Droid X thru bluetooth and I was able to surf the inet using his Verizon account.

You can tether over bluetooth (The instructions are around here somewhere)
I use PDA Net connected over bluetooth to my Droid Incredible. I have the paid for version, but the free version should work too. Paid version lets you get into https sites and VPN's. I don't use a lot now since through work I have a MiFi from AT&T, but sometimes I get into GSM deadspots where my CDMA (Verizon) phone works just fine.
You can also use Wireless tether which is free :

OR

Support bluetooth and Wifi. Works great !
PDAnet for tablet works if all you do is use browser
